<t> Not sure if this is a bug or WAD but it's inconsistent.<br/> <br/> I have a new colony. I send a construction ship to build a big 'ol monitoring station/defense base over it. It takes a while. That's fine.<br/> <br/> 50% of the way through, pirates attack and the construction ship moves off to e...

<t> It seemed to me that you were able to designate an arbitrary range (rather than 'sector' or 'nearby systems') by using the 'set target.' <br/> <br/> Is it the case that 'set target' doesn't actually cause the fleet to go and attack the target right away? If so, perhaps it should be called someth...

<t> Just found this threat and it has some great information in it, but one question: is it still possible to manually specify the range of a fleet? The 'set attack target' now seems to require a specific target - it doesn't seem to be used to indicate fixed ranges. The map of overlapping red (attac...

I know I can retrofit manually from the ship list. My question is whether I can tell automated fleets to follow an upgrade chain rather than having to intervene in every instance.

<t> I think I know the answer to this but want to make sure I'm not missing something.<br/> <br/> I have two cruiser designs. One is a gunboat for pewpew and the other is an assault ship for taking things over. Mostly I want gunboats.<br/> <br/> Is there any way to tell the game that I only want ass...

<t> My understanding is that there is no difference to a human player between 'star base' and 'defense base' - only 'star port,' which tells freighters to 'fill me up with all the things' and every other orbital base type, none of which have any special role unless you put the AI in charge of buildi...

You keep saying starports instead of star bases... Way to confuse the guy haha

*brain explode*

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: pycco<br/> <br/> <br/> 1. i build 1 space port per 4 sectors, the one above my HW is a massive construct. the HW port has all the research labs and 30+ construction yards. for the other planets i build a smaller port mainly for refueling, repairing and eases of tra...

<t> In going through the various introductory tomes, guides, and videos, there is one subject that I can't quite wrap my head around: the function of star ports versus star bases.<br/> <br/> I get that star ports have a special, built-in role as resource repositories and that you should 'not have to...
